A Night of a Thousand
Horror (Movies) #251 / A 1000 Anime Crossover
A film I had anticipated since I first heard about it, and leading to my introducing to the idiosyncratic figure of Ujicha, this is not traditional "anime". You can argue it is not even "anime", as it is categorised as an entirely different animation type the director-creator has christened "geki-mation", paper cut-out animation drawn and cut out by himself, moved with his own hands, and with liquids and even real fire if need be used per scene. Contrasting already a unique production type, Violence Voyager is a pretty twisted and perverse film, of horrifying secrets in an amusement park in the mountains, which is not for the weak of heart even if just told with paper models. In fact even that does not prepare you for how odd this is. It is, however, a compelling work I am glad to have finally seen.
